Scenario 2:1 - Flex-10 - VLAN Tagging (802.1Q) with Multiple Shared Uplink Sets (SUS) and Mapped VLANs - Windows
2003/2008 114
NIC Teaming
If higher availability is desired, NIC teaming in Flex-10 works the same way as in standard network
configurations. Simply, open the NIC teaming Utility and configure the available NICs for teaming. In
this example, we have only TWO NICs available, so selecting NICs for teaming will be quite simple.
However, if multiple NICs are available, ensure that the correct pair of NICs is teamed. You will note the
BAY#-Port# indication within each NIC. You would typically TEAM a NIC from Bay 1 to Bay 2 for
example.
NIC teaming functions the same in both Windows 2003 and Windows 2008. The graphics below are
from Windows 2003.
Highlight both NICs and then select Team, then click OK, the team will be created.
